Brunei's birthday

Linnea's class and the two older Kindy-classes had a little party today, to celebrate "Brunei's birthday". They had decorated super nice, with a big sign they had all helped to make, balloons and table cloths in yellow, black and white - and other Brunei themed decorations that the kids had prepared for the occasion.

They were all seated along one long table, and all the parents had brought a little plate of food each. There was so much food as usual, and kids had a feast - as usual! (Especially check out the fruit sticks, and the artistically carved melons they are mounted on!)

Daniel and Linnea inspecting what's on offer today:

It was lovely, the kids think it's great with these kind of happenings, and as usual I enjoy being a part of it too.Linnea was a bit disturbed at first that there was no party bags at this birthday party (...) but was kind of happy with a big iced biscuit and two Brunei coloured pens she could take home.
